ClutchFans Game Thread: Timberwolves @ Rockets 12/27/2024

hard to win with starting SG having more shots than points

 

Beside not calling a timeout to make a sub for the final shot. The team was rolling with Fred on the bench. They Wolves were hunting fred this game. I've always said it fred gotta go and we gotta somehow get Fox on this roster. We play better when we push the pace.

 

I am not sure but my first suspicion is we lay this at the feet of @WestendMassive . He has been easy on the refs lately and I have not seen any Australian products in Tianjin.

 

It’s such an obvious move to make and now is the perfect time to do it with everything going on with the Kings.

 

That's what I'm saying and these idiots would package Jalen instead of Fred is beyond stupid. A team with Fred and fox is so disgusting

 

Exactly, it’s like people don’t watch the games. Just b**** and moan about why this or that player wasn’t in the game.

 

Gobert is a dirty player, he elbows, hackles opposing players consistently.

 

he was the sole reason ROCKET was in this game . You are blaming a guy who scored 36 and 12 played 41 minutes .. come on

 

Brother I know there were extenuating circumstances that stopped you from being part of the game thread today, but I can promise anyone willing to read through 51 pages to confirm I had no hesitation calling out the absolute assholery and shithead shenanigans of the refs today

 

But did you blame Silas as is protocol when complaining from Australia? And why am I yet to see Australian tomato sauce masquerading as spaghetti sauce yet?

 

Upon further review I find that you duly fulfilled your obligations and referenced one Stephen Silas on page 31 @WestendMassive . You are absolved of any considerations for our loss at the Wolves. @Reeko the reason we lost cannot be found in Australia it must be closer to Houston. We may need the FDA to look into this.

 

Hilarious.

Down 1 with The Van Superman shot.

 

It's so dumb considering they sit their center.

 

Quite frankly it's time for Fred to have some more scheduled rest days. I'm not even saying this team doesn't need him anymore. His services are still important but man there are just some games I just want to see tr young guys do their thing.

Maybe Fred should rest one game on every back to back for the rest of the season. Ime has to somehow be weened from his Fred addiction.

 

I get that we are exceeding expectations this year, but there’s simply no excuse for losing this game. No excuse. Our highest paid player just isn’t showing up this year. Our highest draft pick since Yao Ming has lagged the improvement of his peers and is not shooting well or playing consistent basketball now in his 4th year. There needs to be accountability.

While I highly doubt Ime would be open to trading Fred, we are going to lose him for nothing in the offseason and he’s significantly underperforming his contract. I love Fred as a 6th man and maybe if he had a better backcourt mate he would be playing better, but I’m tired of making excuses. We are half way through the season and we’d be so much better with at least one reliable guard.

for a high IQ player Fred makes some bad decisions and takes some terrible shots.

 

Pathetic collapse and it was deserved after showboating every single play when we were up. Again, offense turns to **** last few minutes, no movement, all watching and then FVV who had tired legs jacks up threes from way too far out when you only needed a 2. That’s on him and the coaches. No excuses.

Btw after watching that press conference, sheesh Ime either doesn’t show it or just doesn’t see that we are having issues in that collapse. Uhmm…uhm…uhmm…pass it out, no double team, good shot. Great question by that reporter about if they know what to run. Some movement would’ve helped Sengun and there was room to cut.

People who cannot be blamed for this loss: Amen, Sengun, Tate and Holiday. Jalen and Jabari had their moments but also too many unforced errors. Cam and Reed were ehh once again. Adams somehow never really made much of an impact. Really stupid loss and hope they beat themselves up over it.

 

Yeah but that's what he SUPPOSED to do if he's allegedly our best player. If Lebron misses several crucial FTs then he deserves criticism. Same thing every game with you guys always pointing fingers elsewhere but your hero. Bottom line, it's a FREE THROW

 

Van Jordan.

 

Yall are way to on tilt to not see how fortunate the Wolves were to win this game.

They had to play their best ball just to pull off a miracle.
